So the two of them reached an agreement and formed an alliance.
While walking through the statues with Daniel Smith, Ree Shil was formulating a battle plan.
Ree Shil: "Actually, we don’t have to stay in front of a statue and just observe the defender."
Daniel Smith: "Oh? Why is that?"
Ree Shil: "The defender is always moving, and the more they successfully defend, the greater the chance their card deck is exposed. Then more people will want to challenge them, and we may not be able to get in line."
Daniel Smith: "So if they have zero successful defenses or have just succeeded in a challenge, we may lose if we rashly challenge them because we don’t know their cards well enough?" fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
Ree Shil: "That’s the general idea, and you’re not too stupid."
Daniel Smith: "I was never stupid, okay! I just can’t calculate scores, can’t build card decks, and can’t predict the opponent’s moves."
Ree Shil: "...Isn’t that the same as being stupid?"
Daniel Smith: "...Just tell me your plan."
Ree Shil: "What I mean is, we should follow one card player closely, watch their games, and become familiar with their card decks and playing habits. If they successfully challenge, we follow and challenge them, which may be more efficient than guarding a statue alone."
Daniel Smith: "That makes sense, but there are so many players here, who should we follow?"
Ree Shil: "Find someone conspicuous in the crowd, easy not to lose sight of."
Daniel Smith: "Well, I think that snowman over there is quite conspicuous."
As he spoke, Daniel Smith pointed to a spot.
There were no statues nearby in that area, so it was deserted, but there was a snowman standing dumbly in the snow, with a hint of green visible within.
"????"
Ree Shil felt that something was off.
So he called Mossy Mushroom and Slame to check it out.
Unexpectedly, as Mossy Mushroom approached and gently pushed the snowman, it crashed to the ground.
The snow layer wrapped around it shattered, revealing Straw Man, who had turned into an icicle.
"Doctor! Doctor! It has no heartbeat, Cute Mushroom!"
"Um, it didn’t have a heartbeat to begin with, right?"
Hearing their conversation, Ree Shil couldn’t help but shake his head.
"This guy is really wild. Did he play with the Snow Woman last night, I wonder."
Knowing that Straw Man’s race wouldn’t be frozen to death, he looked away.
"Let’s follow that guy."
He pointed to the conspicuous green frog doll costume in the crowd.
At this point, that green guy, along with a few other players, was standing in front of a statue.
This behavior was obviously not for selling group photos.
No wonder there was no charge for the group photo with Mushroom and Slime yesterday because the person was not a staff member of the scenic area but a player participating in the Big Brother Cup. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
With its eye-catching color and relatively bulky size, the doll costume was easy to spot even among the many strange races. So the two decided to follow this guy.
At this time, the green frog was standing beside the defender White Yaya, who was guarding the Pearl Clam Statue.
The competition had just begun, and many people were still in the observation phase.
It took quite some time before people started challenging the defender.
White Yaya was also challenged, but she achieved a hard-won victory.
As a defender, once a flaw is exposed, it will quickly lead to a collective attack by others.
Seeing her victory, more people immediately followed with new challenges.
And the green frog was now at the head of the queue.
This meant that it would be his turn as soon as the Pearl Clam Statue card game ended.
If White Yaya won, he would naturally challenge her right away.
If White Yaya lost, he could choose not to challenge the new defender and just line up elsewhere.
What surprised most people around was that White Yaya ultimately won again.
The card deck didn’t change too much, and the victory was still difficult.
So the green frog quietly moved on and started his challenge.
Unexpectedly, White Yaya was well prepared and pulled out a brand new card deck, defeating the green frog soundly.
Unfazed by his failure, the green frog turned and headed towards another statue.
"This kid’s card deck is super strong."
Following the opponent’s footsteps, Daniel Smith commented.
He felt that he might not be able to beat this guy if he encountered him.
Ree Shil: "... Is this considered super strong?"
Daniel Smith: "He has four or five C-Rank cards, isn’t that good enough?"
Ree Shil: "Boss, grades can’t represent everything."
He wanted to explain further, but then decided not to, feeling it would be a waste of breath.
While the green frog was waiting in line to challenge the next statue, Ree Shil observed other statues briefly.
Maybe it was because the competition had just started, the overall strength of the players’ card decks wasn’t too high.
By "not too high," he meant the worst was the level of Black Smoke and Contestant 285. It would not be easy for him to win against them.
Of course, there were strong players.
For example, Show Director was already on a three-win streak defending and had a huge advantage in the ongoing fourth game.
After all, in terms of card skill and card deck alone, she should be considered a Father-Level figure.
The reason she couldn’t be a "Father" was that she played too many games in the clubhouse, not focusing on one thing.
There might be other strong players who chose to watch for now.
Out of the more than a hundred contestants, only 70 or 80 were on the scene, and the rest stayed in the greenhouse.
